Allocation for USJF Members on the 2005 World Team

$3,000 – MSP. USJF members to receive a gift pack from USJF.

I would like to request at the July meeting that we re-allocate at
least $1,000 of the $1,500 not claimed by the regional programs to fund
10- 12 athletes to attend a camp in Canada. The fiscal year ends less
than two months from that date. I have emailed and called the regional
program representatives who had not made requests. Two sent proposed clinic
ideas which I thought were good. I asked for specific dates. I did not
hear back. Next year we do not have the restriction that proposals come
through regional programs. (Ann Marie)
